Revelation and Self Healing
Her lifelong passion and professional involvement with natural health, spiritual growth and personal transformation eventually guided her to the nourishing, restorative, and self empowering practice of Ayurveda the time tested natural health care system of Ancient India. This unfolding love affair began around 2009, following a life changing bout with advanced cancer. Fortunately, through a combined protocol of powerful holistic therapies, western medical treatments and the support of great doctors, family, friends, and Gods grace she fully recovered. Dhyana found Ayurveda to be the perfect holistic support system as the path to recovery and rejuvenation from such an experience. She embraced the deep time-tested knowledge of balanced lifestyle, self care and nutrition, and sought to deeply understand her unique nature through the five elements and alchemy of earth, water, fire, air and ether as a way to restore balance and harmony on an ongoing, daily basis. Concurrently she deepened her dedication to the study and practice of Medical Qigong practice and training. This has proven to be an extremely important and valuable lifestyle enhancement that stabilized and transformed her life and foundation for health in so many beneficial ways. Naturally she had to add this deep dive study and apply it to her healing practice to help others.
